Kaoruko Mochizuki runs
an herb shop in a small seaside town. One day, a mysterious man dressed
in black named Kaname Hibiki enters her shop and reveals that Kaoruko is
actually a witch. And what&#8217;s more, Kaoruko needs Kaname to
help control her awakening power!

With the reawakening of the
Witch Queen, Kaoruko and Kaname are called back to the coven. As his
punishment for betraying the Witch Queen and falling in love with
Kaoruko, Kaname has his five senses, and even his memories of Kaoruko,
stripped from him. Unable to fight against such a powerful spell, the
two are in despair, but they discover that Kaoruko, who has received the
blessing of a white witch, may be the only one capable of breaking that
spell!

Review:

We finally get to
meet the witch queen. And she’s kind of terrible. She had her reasons, which
we’re shown later, but I’m still not a big fan. By meeting her, though, and
with what we know and learn about Kaoruko’s grandmother, we get a better view
of who Kaoruko is and how she came to be this way.

There’s a big final
trial in this volume to see how strong Kaoruko really is, and how strong her
and Kaname’s love really is. I like how Kaoruko stood up for what she wanted
and fought back, and how she did what she had to do in order to get what was
important to her.

While I am not in
love with Kaoruko and Kaname as a couple, their chemistry just hasn’t really
hit me, but I do believe in them, and that they believe in them. I liked how
they came out of what happened to them, how they fought and loved each other
through it.

The ending was
nice. It felt fitting and deserving after everything, and I think it worked
well for Kaoruko and Kaname. It wasn’t my favorite series, but I enjoyed it.

Updates.

9/29/16 (re-edit)My review days are changing to Monday - Thursday. I'm planning to do reviews on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday will be Teasers, possibly with a little wishlist or catch-up included. I am currently moving, and have just started back in school. Third year of college, and working, and I am starting to have very little time for everything. I'm trying to keep up with this, though, on top of it all.

Thanks!-Jude

Who Am I?

An amateur reviewer, and blogger in general, (hopefully) getting better as I go.
If you have a question, or are interested in sending me a review copy, or for just anything, really, you can e-mail me at: geekyreading@hotmail.com

Ratings and Stuff

I post my reviews on both Goodreads and Amazon (although some do not go on Amazon, if I think it's more of a rant than anything else), sometimes on Powells, and I will post the review somewhere else if asked (although, take into consideration the fact that some websites have a word limit, and some of my reviews exceed that limit).

Ratings:1 Star: It sucked, I had a hard time reading it. Couldn't stand any of the book. (Possibly didn't finish, but I usually don't rate or review those.)2 Stars: Didn't really like it/lower side of just alright.3 Stars: Liked it/was about average.4 Stars: Was really good/loved it/awesome.4.5 Stars: Loved it completely, practically 5 stars to everyone else.5 Stars: I don't tend to give these out, um, ever. It's more common for me to give it to a whole series than one particular book. The best book ever, I hold it above most others, it impressed me and made me unbelievably happy.

Aside from those general ratings, I'll give books in-between numbers. Like, if it was good, but not amazing, I'll give it a 3.5. If it was just alright, but not too bad, a 2.5.

Review Copies: I do accept review copies. I much prefer paper books, but I do read some ebooks on my phone. Also, I do prefer romance, young adult, manga, and erotica. And please, do look at my previously rated and reviewed books to see if yours matches with what I've liked. Thanks! :)Receiving a review copy in no way influences my rating or thoughts on a book.
